The decay of a D meson involves the transformation of a charm quark into an up quark, emitting a W boson in the process.
Quarks like the charm quark play a crucial role in the formation of hadrons, such as the J/psi particle, which consists of a charm quark and an anti-charm quark bound together.
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider study collisions to observe the behavior of charm quarks in high-energy experiments.
